Q: What kind of support or feedback have you been getting from people? How did the 2ch partnership come about? What exactly does the partnership entail? A: Almost all feedback I’ve gotten has been positive.
The 2channel partnership came about randomly, the curator of 2channel contacted me in a private IRC message and said that he was impressed with how ∞chan works and that he was interested in partnering with me. The rest is history from there.
What 2channel gets out of it is a version of the ∞chan software in Japanese (already accessible at 8ch.net, most boards only allow Japanese posters) and the ability to put their ads on the English version once they have them. What we get out of it are the legal and technical expertise of the biggest champions of free speech in Japan since 1999. It’s a great win-win situation for us!
